Not to bad and certainly not worth crying about ?
We've had a sustained period of relative success stretching well over 10 years. It would be nice to see crowds around the 25000 mark.
I agree, NYC, it's a modern, comfortable stadium, relatively easy to get to and park the car. I think under 20K is disappointing.Quote:

Our crowds are ok.
I think that some people have unrealistic expectations of how large our fan base is. This aspect of the club has been brought up several times over the years on here and a couple of posters have produced some compelling numbers which showed, outside of one small period ,we are not capable of consistently drawing large crowds when compared to other clubs.
With all that has gone on in the last few years allied to the economic climate we are attracting the type of crowds I would expect. We will pack the place for the glamour games if we maintain a promotion challenging position otherwise it will remain in the mid teens for the majority of fixtures I would imagine.
I agree, yes we have had a good ten years, but the general direction on the field of play has been a downward one in the past five years and there have also been profound issues off it in that time which have also influenced how the club is perceived - all things considered, I don't think it was too bad a crowd.Quote:
